we play in the recording of that for the jury in the death penalty sentencing hearing in virginia. that is a flexibly applied use of the clause. some justices and some courts across the country do not hold that view. in my view, that type of evidence is necessary if we are going to try some of these run- of-the-mill terrorism cases in the article 3 courts. having lived and sweated through the moussaoui case is that it was worth it. it was worth it on a number of fronts. it was worth it because the system work. i think the judge will touch on this. even moussaoui himself admitted that the system work. he spoke publicly. we got a view of how he reveled in misery and horror created in america. we got a view of what motivated this person and what we were up against. it also provided a venue for some catharsis for victims to come in and testify. above all, we showed that we could do it. that is my final point. thank you very much.

virginia, go ahead. caller: hi. i wanted to speak on nancy pelosi in support of her voice for aiding the people. one of the things that i think that has happened is the republicans have controlled the message. however, at the end of the day when it comes time for them to stand forth for the voting, people are going to find out that the republicans are selling a product without instructions. and that is going to be detrimental to them and their message that they've been continuing to churn out. it's a marketing ploy. and it's a very good one at this moment, but i think when if educated population decides to actually tune back in and say let's get on the band wagon they're going to find out that the republicans have been selling poison to the people. host: so you're saying thingless change as we get close to november caller: absolutely. i don't necessarily believe in all polls. i do watch them. but i do believe that there is an issue right now with the people that they're calling. i don't think that every person's hou
